I read the comment section on various articles about Trump/N.Korea blah blah...

All the liberals/SJW's are melting down about how Trump gave everything to China/Russia. Am I missing something here?

From my understanding, the only thing Trump agreed to was stopping the twice a year joint exercises that can be restarted at a moments notice. Doesn't seem like much of a concession, AND North Korea halted nuclear and missile testing, gave us our hostages, and verbally agreed to denuclearize. While there is a massive way to go still and an official treaty still needs to be done with verifiable checks - how is this a loss? Why are all the libbies claiming Trump gave it all to China/Russia and all this other conspiracy theory bullshit?

In my opinion, this is a great step towards peace, and aversion to nuclear war.

How would you imagine we’d be SAVING money? We don’t fire the soldiers and they’ll still be needed, just in case NK isn’t trustworthy.

The move would actually cost more in the shorter run and you’d have to trust congress and the pentagon longer term.

Because the troops based in the US will be spending their money at home, helping local economies instead of overseas areas. Also, no rent or other payments to foreign governments for the permission to keep bases and related facilities.

Poor Trump must admire Kim's freedom. All the billions and POTUS power and it's still not OK for him to attach dissenters to anti-aircraft guns and blow them to smitherines. So unfair, and the Constitution is so dishonest.

After the war, both Germany and Japan were treated very well and rebuilt.

Iraq, not.

It’s tough to rebuild when the people of the region keep maliciously blowing up anything you build for them. Fucking Islam.

Not that it mattered. The rebuilding process was intended to benefit one constituency: the corporations which donated to W’s campaign. Remember Halliburton? Hundreds of billions in contracts in exchange for millions on the campaign trail. That’s how democracies do coalition politics!

Does the US not depend on Chinese buying billions in debt? China holds north of $1,170,000,000 of US debt. Correct me if I'm wrong. Who's the client? Who's got us by the balls, China that's who.

Nope, we do not depend on the Chinese buying our debt. US Government Debt is one of the most desirable financial assets in the World and more than two thirds of long term Treasuries are held domestically.

Debt is only a problem when you are approaching default and have few options. Currently the dollar is very strong and US Treasuries are in high demand.The rest of the world owns 5x the long-term Treasuries as China, and the domestic market is many, many times China's holdings. The Federal Reserve alone has 2x the holdings of all of China in US Treasuries.

China buys US debt primarily to control the valuation of the Yuan, and to a lesser extent because of the Trade Deficit, and their unwillingness to buy American products in return leaves them with few options other than to buy Treasuries. In 2011, China dumped $200B in US Treasuries over a few days and suddenly, nothing happened - to the US Economy. China now owns less debt that it did.

Thanks to Bretton Wood, almost all world currencies are pegged to the US Dollar and buying US Treasuries is the best mechanism to stabilize and legitimize a foreign currency.

When China shifts from buying US Debt, it will only be because they are buying or investing American, or a desperate attempt to send the Yuan into free fall which would have MASSIVE Chinese Domestic consequences. Keep in mind Chinese are huge savers, all cash or real estate, and a devalued, non-dollar pegged Yuan would cause immense domestic hardship and rage. There's no welfare state in China to soften the blow, either.

Over 4x to 5x, not a big deal and minimal compared to domestic holdings in any case. Japan holds about as much, also. It's necessary for the world since the USD is the underpinning of the Global financial system with no immediate rival. There are multi-decade contracts for trillions upon trillions for everything from Oil/Gas to Corporate Bonds to Long Term Commodity Contracts that are USD denominated. If China dumps US Teasuries - which because of the varying maturity is more likely to hurt them really bad - others will benefit. And hundreds of millions of Chinese who save 25% of their income in cash and real estate will scream bloody murder as a huge chunk of their lifetime of savings is obliterated overnight - and blame their own Government.

BTW, if China does this, a proportionate tariff to at compensate for the lost value of the Yuan will beat the shit out of China, that would be rocked by massive unemployment and savings destruction on top of that. That'll teach 'em, while creating tons of new domestic jobs.

Well it has always been suspected of being the case.Of course we all have to trust that the translator does not have an agenda, or take mavis beacon's online courses and do the word associations ourselves...

Neither Trump nor the GOP ever make mistakes. Let's face it, it's another YUGE victory for TRump just like the tax cuts. Count your chickens people before they've hatched with Trump, every time. The guys a winner. If you question the intelligence of what he does, you're an SJW faggot. This is exactly as the founding fathers intended.

It's so easy to see through those vapid libtard morons. They act like they are analyzing reality, like they're some kind of analytical wonks but we all know the truth. That is they hate Trump. We know that everything Trump does is awesome and brilliant and beyond criticism. He never does things just for the optics, just for the "win." He's playing the long game.

All the analysts criticism is just becasue it's Trump and they hate him because they envy him. THere is no such thing as a legitimate criticism of anything Trump does. Criticism of Trump is the very definition of fake news. Actually it's treason, and if there were justice in this world all those that are critical of Trump would be tortured or worse.

Does the US not depend on the FED buying billions in debt? The FED holds massive amounts of of US debt. Correct me if I'm wrong. Who's the client? Who's got us by the balls, the FED, that's who. China can buy up US income producing assets with their dollars (through proxies if need be). No reason for them to quit exporting their junk to the usa.

If you question the intelligence of what he does, you're an SJW faggot. This is exactly as the founding fathers intended.

Is there a difference between questioning the intelligence of what he does in a calm reasonable manner and just flat out saying FUCK TRUMP to get praise and applause? Is it impossible that someone you hate can do something good? Is it normal that fully grown adults result to childish insults as to what he eats and how he combs his hair? Is it unreasonable to question the motives behind why someone who hates Trump to express exactly what it is that generated such hatred? Are their unproven generic reasons enough? (he's a rapist, he's a racist)

2017-March 2018: Donnie is gonna get us into NUCLEAR WAR!!! There's no way he'll succeed where Glorious Clinton, Bush, and Obama failed. Obama's meeting with Iranian Oligarch Theocrats to give them all their money back with minimal, time-limited inspections was a breakthrough!

March 2018-: Donnie met a dictator! Nevermind he got suspension of DPRK's nuclear and ballistic missile program before they even met as a precondition! He met a dictator, didja hear me? He's gonna make the Chinese mad by creating a void between Kim and the Communist Chinese!!!

Please be patient. Nothing has been done and John Bolton is patiently waiting just off stage left.

Doesn't take a rocket man or rocket scientist to figure out what comes next when it comes time to save face - bigly.

He did do an awesome job though of saluting that North Korean General !

Mmmm hmmm. Trump Bashers have been dead on, so far. From an inevitable Hillary Victory, to Russian Collusion, to the Travel ban being unconstitutional, to stopping his SCOTUS appointment, to a nuclear holocaust if Trump strongarmed DPRK.

It's funny, the Media still thinks this is 1985 where they can make totally bullshit predictions and not be called on it because nobody is going to schlep to the Library's microfiche collection and check a few months gone by.

Also, "Why doesn't the average American twuuuusssstt us", said the Government Employee.

Unemployment lowest in decades LMAO. Odd, I remember the Trumpublicans would rush to correct the Obama supporters every time the Unemployment rate dropped, precipitously, under Obama, that UE rate is a Failed Loser metric, and Labor Participation Rate is what matters. What changed? Other then the skin color of the President....
